The company’s used vehicle valuation database, available via all four UK mobile network phone networks, can be accessed via a WAP-enabled phone around the clock. Information available includes trade, retail and price new data for vehicles registered between 1992 and 2000.
The underwrite contacts service enables traders to search a database of over 750 underwriters by either motor manufacturer, postcode or last valuation in an effort to find potential purchasers.
Glass’s commercial manager, dealer division, Alan Henson said: “The motor trade is a highly mobile business and, historically, many of our customers have relied on data in our printed book when off-site. Its physical size means that the content has naturally been limited.
“Our PC-based product has allowed us to expand data available to customers with access to a computer, but we wanted to make that available to customers off-site as well.”
